It's been rolling hard for the last five-ish years. Things are slowing down on this job and everyone is waiting to see ground break for buildings 7 and 8. When this job is fully staffed it's probably close to 500 union jobs. We are reasonably expecting a piece of the Diamond District work, which will wind up being years of steady work. Fingers crossed for the Lego job but it doesn't seem like we're getting it

Honestly it's a mixed bag. CWs and apprentices skew younger, but it's not unreasonable to see an apprentice in their thirties or possibly even forties. CEs and JWs are typically older simply because those classifications mean the person has been doing this job longer. There are a lot of JWs in their fifties and sixties. The skilled trades are losing more people to retirement than we're bringing in each year
